Words, or more precisely languages, will be the reason you either succeed or fail in this new era.
Literally everything you will learn, know or find in this life, i.e. the entirety of your knowledge depends on your ability to formulate a request that enables your listener (whether human or computer) to understand and help you locate what you’re looking for.
I have just explained to you the concept of a search engine and the whole idea behind the internet (or any other network).
In even less words, if you don’t like words, theory or learning; if you can’t learn new languages (including for coding), you’re fucked.
You will only be able to prompt AIs & machines to achieve the level of refinement your words can ask of them. You will only be able to repeat the same patterns of communication you’ve ever known.
Does that sound appealing to you?
